One of the best Italian dinners I’ve had (and I go to Italy frequently!). It started with the bread with the tomato dish on the house. As this was already so good, I couldn’t wait for the main course. I decided to go for the daily special, which was the pork shank. My oh my it was so incredibly rich in flavour! Also, the meat was very well prepared and it was a very good combination with the risotto-like dish it came with. The staff was also super friendly. Loved every minute of our dinner here. PS: this place is also dog friendly!

We had an amazing meal. The food, service and atmosphere were terrific. We had a party of 11 and one of the people had severe food allergies. The waitstaff and chef went out of their way to prepare a safe and delicious meal. We will be back!

The staff was awesome. Extremely friendly and gave great suggestions to the food. The cheese cake was the best I’ve had, don’t pass on it. The main dishes were extremely delicious and fresh. Loved this place and it was dog friendly as well. Life saver from the cold weather.

Went for a friend’s birthday party, the service and the food were superb. The setting is a little rustic and traditional but for me that is part of the charm of the place. The endive salad was very good. The truffle panna cotta and the branzino were great. The espresso coffee was fine but not great. The ricotta cheesecake was one of the best I’ve tried in New York. Highly recommended.

Stopped in for apps and wine, what a charming and wonderful restaurant. The service is perfect, the food is delicious. They serve a tomato flan with bread that is surprisingly tasty. The variety of apps we had, all were as good as the next. It’s cozy with ambient lighting and the jazz background music knocked it out of the park for me. Very highly recommended!

I had my birthday dinner here for a group of 12 and everything was perfect! They made sure we had a great table, food was delicious and the service was incredible, never letting our glasses get empty. The team there went out of their way to make it a wonderful night!

My Italian friend took me to Pepolino on a Monday night and I was super impressed with the food. We ordered the calamari fritti, Tagliatelle porcini and the Melanzane scarmoza which was my favorite dish. For dessert we ordered the Ricotta cheesecake and it was delicious. I’m not a cheesecake person but I LOVE this one. Great service and relaxing ambiance. The whole experience transported me back to Tuscany ❤️ This is an amazing restaurant and I can’t wait to dine where again

Came here for a late lunch as a party 1 and wanted to try their Restaurant Week lunch special. I was greeted by a lovely staff member and was free to choose any small table. The complementary tomato flan packed a surprising amount of flavor. Spreading it on the bread was a different but delightful experience compared to having a plate of sauce or oil. The top of the bread was brushed with some salt, elevating the overall taste. I had the Carpaccio di Manzo for my appetizer. The marriage of cured beef, cheese, and truffle was a wonderful salt fiesta in my mouth. The portion was also quite generous, so I'll definitely get this again in my future visits (unless I'm trying something new). For my main, I got the Polpettine Di Vitella (Veal & Ricotta Meatballs). The dish overall had a good balance between salt and savory, and a plentiful amount of salt and pepper. The meatballs had a semi-deep lingering taste from the ricotta, which was accompanied with several seasoned vegetables and a light tomato sauce. It was a good contrast from the strong carpaccio opener. In total, the dishes were definitely on the salty side. However, it was tolerable for me because it satisfied my appetite as an athlete. But I can see how this could be a turn off for some consumers, especially with the Carpaccio di Manzo. The restaurant week special is definitely a steal, but I will still come back to try more dishes, and recommend this to my friends and family

Came here with some colleagues for dinner while at meetings in SoHo and loved it. We sat on the 2nd floor and the view is great. Excellent ambiance, classic decor, and wonderful people. The server was great, and the food was awesome. Homemade pastas were great, definitely recommend the boar ragu and the porcini tagliatelle, both were delicious. The sausage crostini appetizer was great too. Would definitely recommend.

From the outside Pepolino looks like a small restaurant but it's actually multiple floors and had a lovely decorated experience. We went after work with a group of 15 and they offer a fixed price menu that serves a 3 course meal of app, entree, and dessart for $60. The portions were a bit small but it with the 3 courses was a perfect size to be full at the end of the meal. The staff was very friendly and offered suggestions on food options. Food was delicious and not one of my party was disappointed with their choice. The restaurant was buzzing with families, couples, and large tables which shows they accommodate everyone. Very happy with this choice and if you are ever in the neighborhood or staying in a nearby hotel you should definitely give this one a try!
